Уже в этом году предстоит сдать выпускной экзамен по английскому? Чтобы ты зря не волновался и на самом испытании чувствовал себя уверенно, расскажет о структуре экзамена, где найти билеты по английскому языку, и даст полезные советы, как вести себя в присутствии комиссии.
Коротко об экзамене
Испытание проходит в устной форме. Его цель — проверить навыки общения на английском, которые ты приобрёл за время обучения в школе. Подготовиться к экзамену лучше заранее: билеты по английскому языку продаются в книжных магазинах или заказать на сайте OZ.by . Аудиоприложение к билетам можно скачать на сайте издательства «Аверсэв» . В аудиторию, где проходит экзамен, приглашают по четыре человека. Если ученик затрудняется ответить по билету, он может перетянуть его. Снижается ли в таком случае отметка? Это остаётся на усмотрение комиссии.
Помни: испытание начинается с того момента, когда ты вошёл в кабинет. Переступил порог — забудь русский язык, представь себя коренным англичанином. Поздоровайся с присутствующими: «Good morning!» Никаких «Hello!» и «Hi!». Ещё один важный момент: экзаменационный билет по-английски звучит как «examination card», а не «ticket». И не забудь назвать номер своего билета: «My examination card is number five» or «The number of my examination card is number five».
Экзамен по английскому языку состоит из трёх этапов
Тебе предстоит пройти аудирование, беседу по прочитанному тексту и на предложенную тему. Последовательность этапов определяет комиссия. Каждый блок заданий оценивается отдельно, итоговая отметка выводится как средняя арифметическая.
Беседа по прочитанному тексту
По номеру билета, который ты вытянешь, комиссия предлагает текст (научно-популярный, публицистический или художественный). Даётся примерно 20 минут на его прочтение и осмысление, так что будь внимателен. Перечитай текст несколько раз, обрати внимание на пояснения к нему (при наличии таковых), спроси себя, всё ли ты понял. Если увидел незнакомое слово, попробуй определить его значение по контексту.
Когда пойдёшь отвечать, листок с текстом будет у тебя перед глазами — подсматривай структуру предложений и отдельные слова, но не забывай отрывать глаза от написанного. Комиссия может спросить, о чём этот текст, какова его основная мысль, задать уточняющие вопросы.
Если не понял вопрос или отдельное слово, переспроси. Воспользуйся следующими выражениями: «Could you repeat the question / that, please?», «Could you say it once again, please?», «I didn’t understand / get it». Нужна буквально секунда, чтобы сориентироваться по ответу, — не впадай в ступор! Фразы «May I have a minute», «Let me think» помогут учителям понять, что ты собираешься с мыслями. Давай развёрнутые ответы, опираясь на содержание прочитанного. Но не сиди уткнувшись в текст, это произведёт плохое впечатление на комиссию.
Аудирование
Перед тем как приступить к прослушиванию записи, ты получаешь листок с вопросами, на которые потом будешь отвечать комиссии. Аудиозапись длится полторы минуты и представляет собой фрагмент радиопередачи, диалог, рассказ или интервью. На подготовку отводится 10 минут. Имена собственные и сложные для распознавания на слух слова даются в печатном виде.
Внимательно прослушай текст два раза: в первый пойми суть текста, во второй найди ответы на вопросы. Чтобы не тратить время на дословную запись, делай пометки, по которым сможешь дать развёрнутый ответ.
Беседа на предложенную тему
К разговорной части экзамена по английскому ты не готовишься заранее. На данном этапе проверяется умение излагать свою точку зрения, поддерживать беседу.
Не употребляй те слова, в значении или произношении которых ты не уверен. Замени их синонимами или перестрой фразу. Старайся разговаривать непринуждённо, улыбайся. Внимательно слушай вопросы учителей, переспрашивай, когда не понимаешь, отвечай развёрнутыми предложениями.
В конце экзамена поблагодари комиссию за внимание и попрощайся: «Thank you for your attention», «Thank you for taken time», «See you!», «Bye!», «Have a nice day!». Вежливость сыграет в твою пользу! Тренируйся на уроках английского языка, чтобы на экзамене чувствовать себя like a fish in water. А если нужна помощь профессионалов, чтобы прокачать уровень английского, .

Текст для аудирования:
Like any other capital, Washington always has a lot of tourists. People from other countries and all parts of the United States come to Washington (which stands on the river Potomac) every day. They want to see the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, the White House and the Capitol. They want to see their capital and the monuments to those who struggled in the past to make an English colony a free country.
In 1791 George Washington, the first American president, chose the place for a capital city. He thought it was a good place because the Potomac River was a deep enough for ships to come to the city. Washington is not a typical American city. It has no skyscrapers and nobody will build a house higher than the Capitol.
It is a nice thing not to have stone jungles in the city. There are a lot of large public gardens, parks where you can sit in the sun, and wide streets like Pennsylvania Avenue.
The tourists think that the life of the capital is not very active. But during lunch-time there are very many runners in the city.
They are office-workers who take care of their health. After sitting at a desk for several hours they prefer to run slowly a few kilometers.

E. Good and bad manners
F. The British about themselves
G. Lovers of queues
If you go out to enjoy yourself, you can wear almost anything. It is no longer a requirement of theatres that the audience should wear evening dress. So what you wear depends, perhaps, on how much you paid for your ticket. At the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, for example, spectators in the stalls, the circle and the boxes are usually dressed formally, whilst those peering down from the amphitheatre may well be in jeans. People do, however, tend to dress more formally for ballet and opera than for the theatre and concerts.
In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer people now smoke. There is no more smoking on the London Underground, in cinemas and theatres and most buses. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. And non-smokers can be rude to smokers who break the rule and smoke in public places.
Pubs are an important part of British life. People, especially men, go to the pub to relax, meet friends, and sometimes to do business. At one time, it was unusual for women to go to pubs. These days, however, there are only a few pubs where it is surprising for a woman to walk in. Children under the age of 14 are still not allowed into some pubs. Pub food is cheaper than most restaurant food, and you don"t have to leave a tip. But you do have to go to the bar to get your food and drink. There are no waiters in pubs.
In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street. In Britain it is quite common to see people having a snack while walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. On the other hand, the British may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evenings because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night and, if they make a noise in public or in a restaurant, it is considered very rude. In Victorian times it used to be said that "Children should be seen and not heard", since children did not participate at all in public life. In recent years, children are playing a more active role and they are now accepted in many pubs and restaurants.
According to a survey conducted by a television company last year, Britain is a nation of tea-loving soap opera fans who value privacy, love their pets, grumble about the weather and very proud of their sense of humour. 73 percent of people drink traditional tea, compared to six percent who prefer Earl Grey tea, 53 percent of people treat their pets like a member of the family, 39 percent think the weather is the most annoying aspect of living in Britain. People generally don"t mind queuing and can be spotted abroad by their tanned skin, football shirts, wearing socks with sandals and a pint of beer in their hand.
Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behaviour of its inhabitants. The British like forming queues. In fact, queuing is supposed to be their national characteristic. "An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one," joked George Mikes. So one of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The British are very sensitive to such behaviour and they may get really annoyed with queue-jumpers - people who don"t wait their turn in the queue.

Текст для аудирования:
Why aren’t you at school, sonny?
This is a question that many British schoolchildren may hear at some point in their school careers, when they are "playing truant", "bunking off, or absent without permission. The government thinks that absenteeism is getting out of control in England, but what can they do to make sure children go to school? Here are some of the reasons they are worried:
One million children a year bunk off school (go absent without a reason). In primary schools (5-11) the average time missed per absent pupil is over five days in the year. For secondary schools (11-16), it is 10 days.
Why is it such a problem? The evidence shows that truancy is linked to crime and failure at school. When children are out of school they might be committing crime and they certainly aren"t learning.
What is the answer then? Some people think it is electronic registration: this is a chip in a card that the children have to swipe at the beginning of the school day. When the children put the card in a machine the headmaster can see immediately who is in the school and who is absent.
The best way of improving attendance is to make school, and the gaps between the lessons more interesting. Some schools which have had attendance problems in the past have started lunchtime radio stations, sport, music and a breakfast club with morning TV and aerobics.
Other schools have resorted to more extreme methods when pupils don"t turn up. Last year 9000 children were expelled from schools in England, a big rise in figures. Many children were excluded for violence and criminal behaviour. Of course, throwing children out of school solves one problem but immediately creates many more. Some teachers want corporal punishment brought (beating children with sticks) back into the classroom (it was banned in the 1970s), but the government didn"t agree.
One parent knows very well the cost of truancy, not only to her children"s education, but to her own freedom too. A mother of five, Patricia Amos, was the first person in Britain to be sent to jail for failing to send her children to school. She was sent to prison for 60 days after being found guilty in Oxford. She served 28 days in a very dangerous and violent women"s prison in London. Mrs Amos said, "the whole horrible thing worked. It has brought me to my senses."

A. “ Hot ” boys and cliques
B. Everything becomes a tragedy
C. The younger generation is not sure in its future
D. The problems of youth
E. Personal opinion
The problems of youth (love, friendship, conflicts).
Our grandparents say that nowadays the younger generation has a more difficult life then they had. They explain it taking into consideration the fact about the change of the economic formation from the socialist to capitalist. They are also sure that the younger generation that is youth is not sure in its future. As for me I partially agree with them but I think that nowadays has more possibilities and ways for developing, it has more rights them before. Of course one should remember not only one’s rights but also duties.
When a person is young he or she survives more vividly all the problems, for teenagers nearly everything becomes a tragedy. Love, friendship, conflicts these are all the things that go hand in hand with youth. Young people who are alike become friends, they spend time in their own companies share the same opinions, have common interests.
Those who are different are very often in the state of a conflict, because they cannot control their emotions. Very often such “hot” boys organize one group against the other and the conflict becomes serious. In big cities there are so-called cliques which dictate their own rules to all their members and they are very difficult to deal with.
As for me I live in a small town of Maykop and I cannot say that my town’s problems correspond to the big town’s ones. As far as I know we do not have cliques and our youth is quite neutral to all the exotic changes in way of life and so on. I have a lot of friends. We share common interests, have the same hobbies and visit the same places. We are alike, we want to be students, have a funny life and get much pleasure out of it.-

Текст для аудирования:
Spider-man – a superhero for the 21 st century.
SUPERMAN, BATMAN, SPIDER-MAN - they have much in common. In ordinary circumstances they are ordinary, normal people, not different from anybody else. But when the moment comes, they turn into superheroes and spend most of their time helping good guys and fighting bad guys.
The likeness is not only in that. The three characters began as comic book characters, they all became very popular and they all eventually came to the big screen.
The plot of the Spider-Man is very simple and very much like Super-man and Batman movies. The hero, Peter Parker, is a student and also works as a photographer. He lives in New York with his aunt and uncle. He is a weedy, shy young man. He is in love with a girl next door, but he is very awkward with the ladies, and the girl doesn"t notice him much. In short Peter is not a hero at all. But one day he is bitten by a mutant spider, and gets its qualities. Now he has superhuman strength and reflexes, sense for danger, he can stick to most surfaces, walk up walls and shoot strands of webbing from his wrists. Peter decides to use his extraordinary powers to fight crime.
In his stunning red costume, which covers his whole body, Spider-Man patrols the streets to save the good people of New York from all kinds of danger. He climbs the walls of skyscrapers, swings hundreds metres above the ground on his web...
Certainly ordinary criminals are not enough. Every superhero needs a super-enemy, somebody who is really bad and is usually after the same thing - world domination, very soon Peter finds an enemy like that - the Green Goblin.
A hero who leads a kind of double life - ordinary person by day, superhero at night, a girl who at first doesn"t pay much attention to the hero, but finds him irresistible in the role of a superhero, a power-mad enemy... Probably everything sounds too, familiar, but the film is a success. Many people agree that it"s one of the few movies that really lives up to expectations. It"s a good, clean, funny, action-packed movie with stunning special effects and with no swearing. In short it"s a superior superhero movie that is worth seeing.

Phun Factory in New York is the largest open air graffiti gallery in the world. On the wall of the factory, street kids show their talents - legally - for everyone to admire. The gallery was founded to keep the city clean, and give people a chance to express themselves. The "masterpieces" are changed every three months.
A Dutch film company has made a film to explain what humans are like to aliens. "Imagine then how difficult it would be to explain it to an alien," says one of the filmmakers. "That"s why we decided to make a film about us." The eight-minute cartoon shows what people are and what they think and feel. The makers hope it will be taken into space on a mission in 2007.
Pop star George Michael is retiring from the music business to become an Internet-only artist. The singer says he will never make another album for sale in record shops because he doesn"t need the money and is tired of being famous. Instead he intends to put all future songs on the Internet for free. Fans will be invited to make donations in exchange for downloading the tracks, which multi-millionaire Michael will give to charity.
The first movie monster to become a star was King Kong (1933). Although the giant ape made some film-goers faint, King Kong was actually a model only 45 centimeters tall. For close-ups the studio used a giant furry head worked by three men inside!
Cameron Diaz believes her nose has helped her get most of her acting roles. She says that when she began acting her friends told her that she would never be able to make it big in Hollywood unless she got a nose job. Cameron says her refusal to get her nose corrected actually helped her get film roles instead of losing them. "I thought it kind of gave me a different look to all the other surgery-type girls," she says.
One day, a group of British cellists was watching a documentary on TV which showed the Extreme Ironing World Championship in Germany. This gave them an idea: why not try to make music in extreme locations? This is how a new sport - Extreme Cello Playing - was born.

A MAN OF THE MOVIES
In 1920, while living in Kansas City, Missouri, he was lucky and got his first chance to work on a motion-picture cartoon. The result was successful and in 1923 he moved on to Hollywood where financial success ultimately permitted him to develop his talents and interests.
One of the leading pioneers of the film industry was neither an actor nor a director. Rather, he was a commercial artist who eventually created such popular and familiar cartoon characters as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. The man, of course, was Walter Disney.
Disney did not start out as a rich man; but he did have a wealth of ideas, which reflected his greatest assets – traits of imagination and creativity. Walt Disney began his career when hw succeeded in borrowing three hundred dollars to set up a workshop in the rear of a small garage. Working long and hard, he managed to gain a respected reputation as a gifted cartoonist.
Beyond the realm of show business, Disney also undertook a vast project to construct a combination of a wonderland and an amusement park. The result can be witnessed today in Disneyland located in California. Disneyland quickly grew to be a popular success. Consequently, another immense project, Disney World, was later undertaken in Florida. It is a prominent tourist attraction too.
Although Walt Disney died in 1966, his creative genius and active mind still survive through the entertainment that he left as his legacy. His cartoons and full feature films forever commemorated his name. All in all Walter Disney got 29 Oscars.
Soon, he was producing feature-length animated cartoons, movies, and television shows. Some of Walt Disney’s most popular efforts are regarded as classics today. These include Fantasia and Snow White. He also produced nature documentaries and adventure films. In 1932 Walt Disney got his first Oscar for his Mickey Mouse.
